I also want to add that Stephen L. Doggett is the principle author or the Code of Practice for the Control of Bed Bug Infestations in Australia, which can be downloaded from the same site. It is a 57-page manual on how to control bed bugs, and entomologists, pest control operators, and hotel managers here in the USA really do need to develop something similar, since as we know here at Bedbugger, there is a huge variety of approaches to be found amongst them, and goodness knows, they are not all equally effective.

I know most people know about diatomaceous earth, but it is THE answer. It was for us. I sprinkled it everywhere the bugs were (or could have been) and in a couple of months saw nothing. A few stragglers at odd times of the day, sickly and doddering…hurrah! dont know how we got them, but we did…we lived in an old building. Now nothing.

Glad you had a good experience with DE. It is not always that easy, and people do not always apply it in a safe and effective manner. So I suggest others read our FAQ on DE for suggestions on use and links to more information, before jumping in.
